Supply of an ultrafast laser system for the new RF photo-injector gun at CLIC facility

Item Description:

CERN intends to place a contract for the supply of an ultrafast laser system designed to operate with femtosecond duration electron bunches,capable of producing sub-millijoule level ultraviolet pulses (in the 250-270 nm range) with femtosecond duration at a repetition rate of at least 10 Hz, with ultra-low timing jitter (of less than 100 fs). The pulse duration of the laser shall be tunable (300 fs – 2 ps), and shall produce an output with high stability and quality.

Interested firms shall have proven experience and competence in the delivery of laser systems to photo-injector and accelerator facilities.

Invitation to Tender scheduled to dispatch:

Fourth quarter 2019
